Advisory Council

Huib Morelisse (1964) former CEO of Nuon. "Max Foundation reminds me of what Anne Frank once said: 'How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.' And so it is. No mountain is too high to climb, you just have to start climbing. That is how Max Foundation once started and how they still work or, keep climbing. They need a little support and I am happy to contribute.”
